PATENT LFFICE.

WILLIAM TREWHELLA, OF NEWBURY, VICTORIA.

HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,394, dated October 24, 1893.

Application filed April 25, 1893.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,WILLIAM.TREWHELLA, of N ewbury, Victoria, have invented a new and Improved Hanger, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved hanger which is simple and durable in construction and arranged to support a saucepan or similar article, by the handle, over a fire, at anyheight required for the cooking of the contents of the saucepan in the most satisfactory manner.

The invention consists of a hanger made of a single piece of wire bent upward at an acute angle at one end, to form a hook for engagement with the handle of the article, the wire then being bent approximately at right angles a short distance and parallel with the handle, and then bent again at right angles over the top of the handle, the last bend being parallel to the first bend.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement as applied. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same; and Fig. 4 is a sectional plan View of the same. I

The improved hanger'is made of a single piece of wire, part of which forms a shank A, the upper end of which is bent to form a hook B adapted to be hung on the chimney crane O or other suitable support. The other end of the shank A is bent upward at an acute angle to form a hook D for engagement with the handle E of the saucepan, the upper end of this hook being continued into a longitudinal bend F extending approximately at right angles to the hook. D and parallel to the handle E. The end of this bend F is continued into a right-angular bend G, which extends over the handle E, as is plainly shown in the drawings.

Now, in order to engage the hanger on the Serial No. 471,804. (No model.)

handle E the lower end of the shank A is hooked over the handle of the saucepan in the manner shown in Fig. 1, so that the several parts assume the relative position to the handle as above described.

The upper hook B is hooked upon the chimney crane as illustrated in Fig. 1, and it will be seen that the weight of the saucepan presses its handle in contact with the under side of the bend G at one part and presses it into the acute angled hook D at another part, and as the bend G is situated at a suitable distance, sayone and one half inches, from the hook D, the handle is engaged at three points located a suitable distance apart, one on the top of the handle and one on either side near the bottom. Now, it will be seen that the saucepan is thus suspended from the hanger at an angle to the vertically-disposed crane G, and the hanger permits of conveniently turning the saucepan in any desired direction, and also suspending it a proper distance above the fire, as required to do the cooking in the most satisfactory manner.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A hanger made of a single piece of wire bent upward at an acute angle at one end to form a hook, then bent approximately at right angles a short distance, and then bent at right angles to the last bend and in a parallel direction to the first bend, substantially as shown and described.

2. Ahanger formed of a single piece of wire and having at its upper end a hook for connection with the chimney crane, the other end being bent at an acute angle and in an upward direction to form a hook for engagement with the handle of the pot or kettle, the wire then being bent from the end of the hook approximately at right angles and parallel to the handle of the pot or kettle, and then being bent at right angles to the last bend to extend over the top of the handle, substantially as shown and described.

WILLIAM TREWHELLA.
